Ok, we have managed to ascertain that the cards don't tap when reacting, but
do they have to be untapped to react?

Yes. You must have an untapped vampire to use a reactoin card, and if
the card requires a discipline, then the untapped vampire in question must
have that discipline (just like any other time you use a discipline card).

Unless, presumably, you have a reaction card which says, "Usable by a
tapped vampire." Right? (Examples: The Second Tradition: Domain, and
Wake with Evening's Freshness.) (The second one actually says usable
*only* by a tapped vampire.)

Every rules statement has an "unless a card says otherwise" attached to it,
whether I bother to say that outright or not. So, yes, WweF allows a vampire
to reaction cards while tapped, because the card breaks the rules.
>(Examples: The Second Tradition: Domain...
For the record, this does allow the vampire to untap and block. We went
back and forth with this yesterday, since I still think that by a strict
literal reading the vampire would have to find some other way to untap
in block in order to use the Tradition, but the ruling was that it acts
more or less like a super Rat's Warning. I think this one falls into the
same category as Clockwork Beast, namely, cards that say one thing but
really suck if taken literally so are played as if they said something else.
